"It’s not like I haven’t
thought about killing the humans since I hacked my governor module. But
then I started exploring the company servers and discovered hundreds of
hours of downloadable entertainment media, and I figured, what’s the
hurry ? I can always kill the humans after the next series ends."
This is the first sentence in the history of the Murderbot series - isn't it a great beginning ?
It's not a novella, it's a really short story and yes, I gave it 5 stars because :
1) Why not ?
2) I can
3) because it's a very good start that makes you want to read more - which I did 4) because even if I'm the only person in the world who gave 5 stars to a short sci-fi story, who cares ?
Read it and, like me, get hooked !
PS : Even if you have already read the novellas (as I have) and novels, you can read this.
I need to read this series! I think it'll be a nice summer series to read. Glad the short story is excellent as well!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, it will be a perfect summer read indeed !
DeleteI pretty much love everything Murderbot :):)
ReplyDeleteSo do I, Greg, so do I :)
DeleteLOL, I loved this beginning, too.
ReplyDeleteThe Murderbot is irresistible - media before everything !
